Wedgefield Firewise Award
Wedgefield Firewise was established 15 years ago, in our community to help education, give information and training to the community concerning ways to prevent wild fire and its destruction to our property. We have set several great events to kick off 2017.

Firewise Spring Give Away and Property Assessment
Our first event will be twofold. We will be celebrating ‘Firewise Spring Give Away to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, 2017 from 10:am to 2:00pm by giving away free fire resistant plants to the community (while supplies last). We also will be setting appointment for a ‘Property Assessments’ for anyone that would like to have a Florida Forestry Service Employee to come to your home and give you an assessment of the type of fire resistant plants you should have around your property, that would help in the defense of your home should wild fire happen in our community.  This is a free service that will be held in the months of April and September 2017. This service is totally free to anyone who live in Wedgefield and will be performed by appointment only. For more information and to make appointments please contact us at wedgefieldfirewise@gmail.com. Also, look for other activities that will be held throughout the coming year.
